An aircraft flies a direct route leg measuring 35 nautical miles (NM). What is the equivalent distance in kilometres (rounded to the nearest whole kilometre)?
Answer
65 km
Explanation
The chart key gives a total route distance of **35 NM**. The kilometre alternatives are not the requested chart result, and 65 NM is inconsistent with the plotted route. **Key takeaway:** Retain the unit requested and use chart scale accurately. **Glossary:** NM: nautical mile.
